Hello Michael,

I followed the instructions in your wiki (BTW, I'm fan of dokuwiki). After modprobing cryptodev, cryptosoft and ocf I issued an

# openssl engine
(cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine
(padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE)
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

and aaahh, there is the BSD cryptodev engine.

Then I issued a

# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc
...
The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 2048 bytes aes-128-cbc 16857.02k 51028.11k 208490.67k 829721.60k 1306828.80k

Compare these results against the performance without using the geode-aes hardware encryption unit:

The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type            16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
aes-128-cbc 4676.31k 6764.39k 7646.98k 7919.27k 8019.39k

Very impressive :-)

Thanks a lot, and also thanks a lot to all who rendered this amazing project possible.

Best regards

Hello,


Anyone interested in enabling hardware crypto in openssl for voyage 0.7.5? I am doing a write up here:

http://www.3open.org/d/voyage/enable_hardware_encryption?&#for_voyage_075

If interested, please try and let me know if any mistakes or room for improvement, as I am new to deb packaging.


Rgds,
Michael
